magnolia–A beautiful MongoDB driver w/ Q Build Status

Magnolia implements a coherent, lazy, & chainable interface... with promises! Don't nest callbacks anymore than you have to!

Init

If you don't mind state, you can init the module's state with default options.

var mongo = require('magnolia'),
    ObjectID = mongo.ObjectID;
 
mongo
    .server({host: 'localhost', port: 27117)
    .db('hello')
    .options({w: 1})
    .init(); // makes all the previous calls stored as defaults

Or you can start a chain with the defaults you would like.

var mongo = require('magnolia')
    .server({host: 'localhost', port: 27117)
    .db('hello')
    .options({w: 1});

Connection

  • magnolia(collection, [db])
  • .collection(collection)
  • .db(db)
  • .server(server)
  • .options(...)
    • m:1
    • journal:true
    • fsync:true
    • slaveOk:true

Find

magnolia('user')
    .filter({_id: ObjectID('4e4e1638c85e808431000003')}) // filter!
    .one() // just find one!
    .then(function (user) { // evaluate as a promise
        console.log('hello', user.name);
    });
 
magnolia('user')
    .filter({hello: 'world'})
    .toArray(function (err, docs) { /* ... */ });
  • .toArray([cb]) Query the collection, otherwise it will be lazily queried when you evaluate the chain as a promise
  • .filter(criteria) Filter the collection
  • .one() Find one! And return the document, instead of a list.
  • .limit(n).skip(m) to control paging.
  • .sort(fields) Order by the given fields. There are several equivalent syntaxes:
    • .sort([['field1', 'desc'], ['field2', 'asc']])
    • .sort([['field1', 'desc'], 'field2'])
    • .sort('field1') ascending by field1

Find and modifiy

magnolia('user')
    .filter(query)
    .sort(sort)
    .options(options)
    .findAndModify(objNew, [options], [callback]);

Useful options (including the previous options):

  • .filter(...)
  • .sort(...)
  • .options(...)
    • remove:true set to a true to remove the object before returning
    • new:true set to true if you want to return the modified object rather than the original. Ignored for remove.
    • upsert:true Atomically inserts the document if no documents matched.

Remove

magnolia('user')
    .filter(query)
    .remove(extra_query)
    .then(function (remove_count) { /* ... */ });

Insert

magnolia('user')
    .insert({name: 'ryan', company: 'Submersible'}, {safe: true})
    .then(function (doc) { /* ... */ });
 
magnolia('user')
    .safe()
    .insert([{foo: 'bar'}, {hello: 'world'}], function (err, docs) {
        /* ... */
    });
  • .safe() or .unsafe() Make sure document is in the database before returning
  • .options(...)
    • safe:true

Update; update and insert (upsert)

Signature:

magnolia('user')
    .filter(criteria)
    .update(update, [options], [callback]);
magnolia('user')
    .filter(criteria)
    .upsert(objNew, [options], [callback]);

Useful options:

  • .filter(...)
  • .one() or .multi()
  • .safe() or .unsafe()
  • .options(...)
    • safe:true Should always set if you have a callback.
    • multi:true If set, all matching documents are updated, not just the first.
    • upsert:true Atomically inserts the document if no documents matched.

Save

Performs an update if there's an _id, and an insert if not!

magnolia('user').save({_id: ObjectID('50c03c9c766c8598e0000002'), foo: 'bar'}); // update
magnolia('user').save({hello: 'world'}); // insert

Count

magnolia('user').count([filter], [cb]);

Map/reduce

Data types

magnolia.Long(numberString)
magnolia.ObjectID(hexString)
magnolia.Timestamp()
magnolia.DBRef(collectionName, id, dbName)
magnolia.Binary(buffer)
magnolia.Code(code, [context])
magnolia.Symbol(string)
magnolia.MinKey()
magnolia.MaxKey()
